‘I earned more in four hours’: Woman says she makes more per hour working at Domino’s than she did at NBC. Are fast food jobs more desirable now?

In a recent video she posted, the on-screen captions say that she started working at a Domino’s location despite having a bachelor’s degree because it pays $4 more per hour than NBC. Plus, she receives tips and her "superior aren't bullies."

“The way [I] earned more in four hours on a slow day delivering pizza than [I] did an 8 hour shift working for NBC,” reads the caption below her viral video.

As fast food restaurants across the country increase their wages, they may become more attractive options for workers. But this may affect the price of your pizza.

How much are fast food workers getting paid?

Fast-food restaurant wages vary depending on the chain and the state. Recently, California increased the minimum wage for fast food workers from $16 to $20 an hour, a 25% increase. This only applies to chain restaurants with at least 60 establishments across the U.S.

Domino’s, where Corynne works, falls into this category. The pizza chain has 6,854 stores in the U.S., which includes 6,566 franchise stores.

Corynne doesn’t mention where she lives and doesn't disclose her hourly wage. She does say she delivers pizza, and delivery drivers at Domino’s earn an average of $17.91 an hour in the U.S., according to an estimate from Indeed based on over 13,000 employee salaries.

Corynne’s salary at NBC would depend on whether she was full-time or freelance. According to Indeed, the average hourly pay for video editors at NBC is $37.24 with a low of $26.35, but this is based on limited data.

Are these salaries better than office jobs?

Many of the over 2,200 comments on Corynne’s video are about wanting to work at stores and restaurants over office jobs that require degrees.

Corynne mentioned those in leadership positions at her old NBC job were “bullies,” and workplace culture did appear to factor into some of these comments.

“Me leaving Dentistry field for. Home Depot less stress and 2 dollar raise,” said one commenter named Rin.

Another with handle @ox_ash.cash_xo wrote that she works as a Certified Medical Assistant for $21 an hour while “here everyone is less stressed making more at like In-N-Out down the road.”

Some believe an eight-hour shift at Domino’s tends to be less stressful than something like a cameraman job. Plus, when you clock out, you can leave work at work, pointed out one commenter named Chyna.
